Elegant 5BR Norwich House w/Gorgeous Ballroom

Immerse yourself in Connecticut’s serenity by reserving a stay at this elegant and unique Norwich vacation rental house, which overlooks Chelsea Parade. The home’s many luxurious amenities include 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, accommodations for 10, a ballroom, a library, and a pool table. This is a truly restful place, where you can hear the calming sounds of church bell chimes and have easy access to a variety of exciting local attractions, including museums and golfing!
THE PROPERTY
Boasting 2,000 square feet of well appointed living space, this stately residence is perfect for large families or group of close friends looking to explore Connecticut’s rich history.
The front of the house looks out onto Chelsea Parade, which was designated in the late 1800’s as a military parade ground, showcasing several small monuments devoted to those who have served this country.
Inside, this home is even more impressive! You’ll love the spacious elegance throughout its impeccably furnished interior, especially in the large ballroom.
For your entertainment, the billiards room has a small yet very enjoyable pool table and the library offers a sizable selection of page-turners, along with a lovely arched Victorian-era window.
The front bedrooms, called the French and Chinese Chippendale rooms, receive an abundance of natural sunlight, while the other 3 rooms – the Queen Anne, Hitchcock, and Canopy bedrooms – get a little less sun, making them great for sleeping in late.
The massive fully equipped kitchen is stocked with every culinary appliance you could possibly need. Gather in the adjoining formal dining room to enjoy your home-cooked dinner around the expansive table with seating for 12, decorated in gorgeous banded wood for a very elegant dining experience.
Adjacent to the dining room is the Gold Parlor, a beautifully sophisticated room with an American Empire style of décor.
The Green Parlor, a very comfortable room decorated in the Chippendale style, features a large flat screen TV with DVD player.

Very cool historic home!

There is lots and lots of room, everyone you look there are interesting architectural details. The only negatives we experienced was the difficulty of cooling the house down, despite all of the box fans, and the shower water taking a bit of time to warm up. I would love to see the house again once more renovations are made.

INTERESTING STAY

The house had a lot of wonderful things. Lots of room for all to enjoy. We were there with a group of Girl Scouts and we did use the BALL ROOM to have a great time. Yes it is a work in progress.

The location was good very easy to get to the highways for day trips etc.

Some of the downside was the way things were prepared for our stay. No towels were out, no hand soap in any of the bathrooms, extra toilet paper. The rugs were dirty to say the least, ball room had not been touched for awhile! When this was brought up to the owner was told you are renting a house not staying in a hotel!! The BIGGEST problem were the little ants in the kitchen they got into our food for which we had to toss it out. Yes the owner to refund us some money towards the food.

Wish the owner good luck with her place.

Owner's Response: Hi Barbara,
Thank you for your review and we are happy that we were able to work with you to find a resolution to the troubles that you had with the ants in the kitchen. The homeowner is looking into the situation to fix this for their future guest. We were excited to hear that the Girl Scouts were able to make a great use of the ballroom as this is a very unique feature to this property, and can be fun for any age of guest. Thank you again for your review and please let us know if we are able to assist you with any of your future travel.

A lovely Estate Home

We loved the Teel House. It is a lovely historic home with all of the charm one would expect of a New England Estate. We were pleasantly surprised to find that despite the age of the building there was NO mold or mildew. The home is beautifully furnished with antiques from the region and the rooms are large and bright. The kitchen has been recently remodeled with modern appliances. The home is outfitted with a dining room table that seats at least 12. The back porch was lovely and we enjoyed both morning coffee and evening cocktails together on the porch. The bedrooms were large and airy, and the beds were comfortable. Having 3 bathrooms in an old home like this was a great surprise. We really enjoyed our stay.

The only reason we didn't give it a 5 was because the cleaning staff did not do a great job preparing the home for our arrival. While the renovations are not complete, we did not find that to be an issue at all, and are looking forward to visiting in the future to see the evolution of the remodel. Also note, this home is not handicap accessible. As with most homes this age, there are steps at both the front and back entrance and no bedrooms on the first floor.

If you are looking for a modern home, this is not the house for you, but if you understand that homes of this era have their own special charm, you will love this place. We do!

Big house, good location

Big house with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms (although one of the four bathrooms listed was unusable which was a bit disappointing and a challenge). Some of the furniture needs a little upkeep, but the house worked out well for our needs and the owner was very good to work with on all matters. Nice central location.
